10. People Not Refusing Work

The article title made it seem like people were passing on $100,000 jobs. In my post I pointed out that the article did not list anyone who was making $100,000 and that it would take someone at least ten years to get anywhere near making $100,000.

So, in reality people may be passing on jobs that pay much less than $100,000. I also said that the people who are passing on those manufacturing jobs may be going after jobs that pay more sooner. In other words, the title of the article tried to make manufacturing jobs seem more competitive than they actually are.
